Described as “a composer with that rare combination of clear-eyed intelligence and deeply-felt emotion,” Leslie Uyeda has spent her life crafting delicate, intimate masterworks inspired by her dual passions for poetry and the human voice. Many of Leslie’s pieces were composed with specific performers in mind, artists with whom she has had longstanding collaborations and deep connections. It is they, along with the composer herself at the piano, who will bring Leslie’s music to life in this very special concert that also celebrates International Women’s Day.
